Ditched the Carvers...Great Inexpensive Subwoofer Solution

mlawfl11 · 11-10-2012, 02:53 PM

A few months back i pulled out those awful Carver Subs and replaced them with a powered 12" BassStation subwoofer hatchback enclosure from Kicker (Kicker 11PH12). Man, what an improvement! The best part is that the box fit perfectly and barely took up any room. I paid about $300 for the box online. I'll post pics soon. Also, i used the space where the Carvers were to hold my DICE and Sirius radio modules.

Would love to see those pics.

And out of curiosity, what connections did you have to make in order for this setup to work?

Not sure....Best Buy did the install. I'll take pics soon.

Interesting, always wanted to update my "Hifi professional" cause I think the bass is total shit, but didn't want to go anal on audio and adding weight, so this might be a good solution.

Any chance of an update with pics?
